When executing, there is a difference between shell notation and the
programming interface.
e.g.
program name parammeter 1 parameter 2 parameter 3
should be written on the cmdline as
"program name" "parameter 1" "parameter 2" "parameter 3"
But should be passed to a kernel function as:
filename:='/full/path/to/program name'; // no quotes;
param[0]:='parameter 1'; // no quotes;
param[1]:='parameter 2'; // no quotes;
param[2]:='parameter 3'; // no quotes;
This is the difference between shell api and deeper api. E.g
shell deeper
Unix: (fp)system() (fp)exec*
winxx: shellexecute createprocess
Another usual difference between these two is that the shell versions search
for the binary, while you need to pass full path to the "deeper" category of
functions.
